Youkoso, chizu ni nai basho e! April 11
Hello there, everyone. We’re the new kids on the block at AnimeBlogger (hosted by the wonderful and gracious Maestro4k). Our mission: deliver as much information on anime, manga, video games, and music as we can! Without further ado, here are the members of this co-ed, multi-cultural team!
Kad: Hello there~. I’m Kad, the female member of Chizu ni nai Basho. I’m a sophomore in high school thinking of pursuing something do with photography or languages someday. I take a lot of pictures in my spare time (film and digital), and as you can see I handle lots of the graphics and things we have on the blog. Sometimes it’s hard to pin down which genres are my favorites, since I seem to enjoy so many different kinds of series. Luckily my tastes don’t conflict with the others, since I’ll be covering series both together with them and on my own (as well as lots of awesome music with MSZ). So, while I may not be as experienced as the others but I will be looking forward to contributing what I can~.
MSZ: Hey all~. I am Master Swordsman Zero, though some may know me as MasterXHunter. I’m a senior in high school and am starting college next year, in which I’ll major in computer sciences and minor in a language (undecided). Here on Chizu ni nai Basho, I’m the one in the group who specializes in manga and import games, and I hope to be covering quite a bit of both in the near future. I’ll also be mainly giving my impressions on raws to get my coverage out to the public as fast as possible. I also have an obsession with voice actors, so don’t be surprised if I talk about them a lot and analyze their roles in an anime >.>. I do focus more on the Japanese side of things, but I do love a lot of dubs, so you really won’t see me doing any dub bashing~. I hope I can be of service to you all~.
Taiyz: Really now. Multi-cultural? Just because I get to use the letter U more. Anyway, I’m Taiyz. Last name’s Genesis, but I only use that for role-playing (and no, I don’t role play as in the silly games on forums; I mean in MMORPGs.) I’m in my last year of high school and plan on going to college for Software Engineering, following up with university for the same course stream. I’m the one that typically prefers anime to manga and tends to marathon a lot of stuff over a weekend, but they’re usually older series that I may not blog about. I also enjoy anime dubs into English and like to discuss how they’re better or worse, fairly. I don’t stereotype one language or another in terms of dubbing, but I’m not gonna let any misconceptions run wild. (Yeah that’s right, all you “Japanese has more emotion” supporters.) I import a few games now and then, sometimes due to MSZ’s suggestions, sometimes due to my own obsessions…And speaking of obsessions, expect me to support quite a lot of voice actors. One thing I pay attention to is voice acting and the actors that play the roles, and I have quite a list of favourites so don’t mind me if I suddenly bring up Tomokazu Seki or Johnny Yong Bosch in a rant about kickass voice actors.
